Subtract 7 years from this for the great tribulation and you get 2011 as a starting point of approximation.

The tribulation is 7 years, the Great Tribulation is the second half of that 7 year period.

The Book of Enoch outlines our origin and how the earth was corrupted by the work of Divine beings called watchers. Genesis 6 relates part of this story. The following passage is key to understanding when the Angles will be judged and the men who follow them meet there end.
11 And the Lord said unto Michael: 'Go, bind Semjaza and his associates who have united themselves with women so as to have defiled themselves 12 with them in all their uncleanness. And when their sons have slain one another, and they have seen the destruction of their beloved ones, bind them fast for seventy generations in the valleys of the earth, till the day of their judgement and of their consummation, till the judgement that is 13 for ever and ever is consummated. In those days they shall be led off to the abyss of fire: and 14 to the torment and the prison in which they shall be confined for ever. And whosoever shall be condemned and destroyed will from thenceforth be bound together with them to the end of all 15 generations. And destroy all the spirits of the reprobate and the children of the Watchers, because 16 they have wronged mankind. Destroy all wrong from the face of the earth and let every evil work come to an end: and let the plant of righteousness and truth appear: and it shall prove a blessing; the works of righteousness and truth' shall be planted in truth and joy for evermore.
17 And then shall all the righteous escape,
And shall live till they beget thousands of children
And all the days of their youth and their old age
Shall they complete in peace.
To calculate a generation, we use 70 years. 70 X 70 is 4900.
Before I get to the approximate date, let's look at the date from another direction. Jesus said, in Matthew 24, that one generation would see Him return in victory over evil. The nation that sees Israel become a nation starts in 1948. Add 70 to 1948 and get 2018. We can see an approximate timeline from this. Subtract 7 years from this for the great tribulation and you get 2011 as a starting point of approximation.
One more interesting thing. If the two witnesses show up now, then the tetrad moon cycle of 2015 will be the halfway point between. This is when the Antichrist kicks into full swing. I see the tetrad moons as important. They align with the feast dates of Israel.
Back to Enoch. If you look at when Enoch lived, he walked with God after living 65 years. We know that he walked with God for 300 after this. The question is, when did he make the prophecy of 70 generations.
I'll quote from a source on this one:
"If we add up the descendents from Terah back to Noah and Shem after the flood,
the Hebrew reckoning gives the total of 292 years but the Septuagint gives a total of
1,172 years, although Adam Clark points out that different manuscripts give different
readings. Looking at A Dictionary of the Bible by James Hastings, he shows that the
Hebrew reckoning from the flood to the birth of Abraham was 290 years, but the
Septuagint gives 1270 years. This is quite a difference. The Dictionary of the Bible states
the 290 years are regarded as the original, but the Septuagint however, was accepted by
the Hellenistic Jews and the early Christian Church.
As for the meaning of this discrepancy in the genealogy, that is a mystery.
However, if we multiply 70 generations times 70 (70 x 70) it totals 4,900 years.
According to the Septuagint the great flood occurred 2,892 BC.
If we add the year 2008 AD to 2,892 BC, it totals 4,900 years – the precise
number of years till the BEGINNING of the Day of Judgment!"
Many people have tried to tag down the date. From my perspective, what Jesus said in Matthew 24 is accurate. The day of the Lord is at hand. A day is 1000 years. The sheep are separated from the goats and 1000 years of peace follows.
17 And then shall all the righteous escape,
And shall live till they beget thousands of children
And all the days of their youth and their old age
Shall they complete in peace.
Seek the Lord. Love God and love others. This is the duty of mankind. The righteous shall live by faith.

am I seriously the only person who thinks the WTC was the "two witnesses". What do these scriptures have to say about these witnesses? Any description? Must it be men? Regardless... I think astonishing things will occur soon, because everyone has invested thought into it. We manifest what we desire.
